We work in the intersection between business, education, the design industry, and the public sector. Making sure Danish businesses benefit from the potentials of design requires open partnerships. To us, "never alone" is a core value, and we prefer to create results in close cooperation with our partners - businesses, designers and organisations - listed below.
